La Poderosa Malbec is a soft, medium bodied red named after Che Guevara’s motorcycle. For wine lovers everywhere a stylish choice, this is an intense ruby red wine made with 100 percent Malbec grapes, boasting juicy flavours of rich fruit, damson plums and spice.

In 1952 Ernesto “Che” Guevara ventured on a magical journey through the wilderness of Chile on his precious Norton 500 which he nicknamed “La Poderosa” – the powerful one. The journey was immortalised in the film Motorcycle Diaries.

50 years on Chile lays claim to being the most dynamic wine region on Earth. With the vineyards having been planted in the hot dusty tracks of the fertile valleys the quality of wine is now leaving its imprint on the palates of discerning wine drinkers everywhere. La Poderosa is a stunning example of the new wines coming from this region.
